Yes, the car is real. The Talisman was first offered in 1974. They were built thru 1976 although 1974 was the ONLY year offering seating of only 4 people and having dual consoles. The heavy velour used was called Medici. The 1974 interiors were were offered in 4 colors, Dk blue, amber, black and terra cotta. Approx 1,800 Talismans were built in 1974. The Talisman option was $1,788 on top of the Brougham price, $2,467 if you wanted a Talisman in all leather (very rare). Talismans came standard with elk grain top, special carpet, footrests, passenger recliner, stand up hood crest, and turbine vane wheel discs among others. What is your Vin # ?

Hi Morten,
Congratulations with your new Cadillac! Looks like it is real rare and it is great that we have another nice Cadillac in Norway!

Are you heading to the Hunderfossen AMCAR meeting on the 2-4th of June? There will be attending another 1974 Coupe DeVille that is painted Terracotta. This car is a documented low milage (7400 miles) and the paint is in like new condition. It would be great for you to see what the paint is suppose to be!

It would also be great to see your car! We are planning to have a Cadillac Meeting at Hunderfossen as well! Please join us!

Med vennlig hilsen

The GM code# is #98 Terra Cotta Firemist. The Ditzler# is 2664

Hello Morten,
 
    The Terra Cotta Firemist color is Cadillac number 98.  
 
    The Dupont manufacturer number is: 927-AF922.
 
    It was also made by Inmont. that number is: L68 RD 070.
 
Terra Cotta was an optional Firemist paint color.   In 1974, Cadillac
offered 21 exterior color selections.   15 regular and 6 Firemist
colors.   The 15 regular colors included 3 new non-metallic colors.  
15 of the 21 colors were new for 1974 and 10 were offered exclusively
on Cadillacs.
 
The Talisman could be ordered in any of those 21 colors.  You could
also "Special Order" one in a color used in a previous model year.  
You were limited to only four interior color choices.   Black, Blue,
Amber and Terra Cotta.   Leather was supposedly offered but there is
no mention of it in my Dealers ordering catalog.  There is a known 74
Talisman here in the states with a leather interior in the Sandalwood
color, but the owner has not shown the build information on the Data
Plate to proof it is a factory interior.   I have always suspected he
had the interior reupholstered in leather.   The data plate is under
the hood of your car near the back above the heater box.  This will
have the exterior color number (hopefully #98) and the interior trim
color.  #548 is the interior color for Terra Cotta.
 
I hope this is helpful.
 
David
